A mate's AU2 4.0 litre falcon had a backfire on LPG yesterday. It seems to be now running an about three cylinders even on petrol. Any ideas on what might be the problem, maybe the coil pack? and any ideas on what may have caused the backfire. It happened when accelerating from a standing start.

Suggest MAP sensor may have been damaged; it's in the manifold just under the throttle body on those so a real pita :(
Also check manifold gasket and all vacuum hoses very carfully - spray degreaser around while it's running.

A duel fuel factory fitted LPG falcon au2. Started bak fire recently, changed spark plugs, running ok then back fired, changed leads, running ok but two weeks later back fired again every now and then when engine is cold. Running ok when engine is hot or on petrol. Is it the mixture or coil pack? Any advice?

Went to Jollys, got another mixer, easy fix. You can check by unplugging the little air hose going to the mixer, if nothing changes that means diaphragm blown. Cheers |

Alexs the original post was in 2011. Good update idea.

Backfire on LPG?
My AU ute runs on LPG, and when it backfires, I always check the plug gap. No more than .8mm, and all will be OK. Sometimes too many backfires will also damage the plug leads. Ray 2002 AU-111 at 350k |
